Preparation of raw materials

Flow rate monitoring and controlSiemens offers a wide range of belt scale devices for the weighing of solid raw material flows and cullet glass flows during conveyor belt transfer. Milltronics belt scales pro-vide high accuracy weighing flows and combine high accu-racy, low maintenance and a proven weigh frame with no moving parts. Calibration is easy using test weights.In addition to belt scales, SITRANS WW weighfeeders with various belt widths are also available. Siemens weighfeed-ers measure and control the rate of material flow into or out of a process. These intelligent systems continuously measure the load on the belt and the belt velocity, from which they calculate the current delivery rate. They com-pare the quantity actually measured with the set point and control the belt velocity accordingly.For applications involving continuous measurement of the throughput of free-flowing bulk materials and pow-ders, Siemens offers low-maintenance SITRANS WF solids flowmeters.

Seamless integration into the control systemOur SIWAREX PLC-based weighing electronics provide a comprehensive range of weighing processors for force measurements, hopper, batching, differential batching, bagging, belt scales and solids flowmeters, this makes it easy for integration into the SIMATIC control system. Alternatively, stand-alone solutions with Milltronics BW500, BW500L and SF500 are also available.

Sampling, weighing, measuring, mixing. Getting glass materials preparation right at the batch house is critical for total plant efficiency. End product quality relies on precise recipe and batch management, from unloading all the way through to mixing and despatch to the furnace. Spillage and other losses are to be avoided in order to keep raw material costs at a minimum. Wasted materials or wrong mixing also adds to already high energy costs. Siemens offers a perfectly matched weighing and instrumentation product portfolio for the preparation of the glass batch and improvement of batch house operations.

Accurate raw material delivery and inventory managementThe weigh bridge load cells, which register the amount of raw material being delivered by trucks to the plant, can be connected to a SIWAREX FTA. This is a SIMATIC module that allows direct integration in a SIMATIC PCS7 control system. The SIWAREX FTA is certified for trade approval and is extremely accurate.

Hopper weighing and precision in batch preparationThe accurate weighing, dosing and mixing of raw mate-rials in the batch station is vital for product quality. Knowing the precise hopper content is essential to ensure product availability for processing. Siemens SIWAREX WL compression load cells offer a high resolution and high accuracy for even the highest loads.

Accurate inventory management in the batch houseSiemens offers a wide range of contacting and non-con-tacting instrumentation for continuous level and point level measurement. Our intelligent level measurement devices give you the extreme precision and reliability you need. They are, proven in a range of hostile process condi-tions such as dust, high temperatures and abrasive envi-ronments encountered in glass manufacturing.

Exact bin and silo level measurements Continuous, reliable level measurement of materials in bins and silos is essential for 24-hour operation. The SITRANS LR560 is a solids level measurement device with plug and play performance, making it ideal for most solids applications, including those with extreme dust and high temperatures. Operating at 78 GHz frequency, it emits a short wavelength to provide exceptional signal reflection even from solids with a steep angle of repose, like sand.The lens antenna of the SITRANS LR560 is highly resistant to product build-up and it is equipped with an air purge connection for self-cleaning of extremely sticky solids.

SITRANS LU ultrasonic technology is a highly cost-effective solution for general level applications in the glass indus-try. For precise level measurement of short- to long-range open air solids, SITRANS LUT400 combined with Siemens Echomax transducers are an ideal fit. These transducers have self-cleaning faces and their robust design can han-dle tough applications.

Overfill protectionThe Siemens range of level switches uses a wide choice of ultrasonic, rotating and vibrating as well as Inverse Frequency Shift capacitance technology. The Pointek CLS unit comes with the technological inno-vations suited to the requirements of glass production processes, such as high sensitivity and resistance to prod-uct build-up. If wear is a concern, particularly in the cullet bin, the non-contacting Pointek ULS level detection switch is the right solution.

Melting, forming, cooling

Continuous gas analysis in-situSiemens’ LDS 6 and SITRANS SL are based on diode laser technology which allows a fast measurement directly at the process. No sample extraction or sample preparation is required. The LDS 6 is a well proven in-situ analyzer, able to withstand high temperatures and operate under harsh environmental conditions. A typical application is to monitor HF and/or HCl emissions in stack gas. The SITRANS SL is a compact transmitter-like designed gas analyzer for fast in-situ measurement of oxygen and carbon monoxide concentrations in process gases.

Online monitoring of protective atmosphere in the tin bathOne of the major concerns in the float glass production line is to prevent oxidation of the tin bath. Oxygen may enter by leaks or diffusion from the glass sheet and may cause various defects on the glass sheet surface. In this case minimum quantities of oxygen will react to tin oxide, which will in turn lead to a reaction with the melting glass. A nitrogen/hydrogen protective atmosphere pre-vents oxidation but needs careful monitoring.Siemens’ OXYMAT64 is based on ZrO2 technology to mea-sure the smallest oxygen concentrations in pure gas appli-cations such as in nitrogen purge gas for the tin bath. It enables corrective measures to occur in time to avoid any oxygen-related damage to the glass surface and the need for time-consuming extra hydrogen purging of the bath atmosphere. In addition, the CALOMAT6 uses a thermal conductivity detection (TCD) method to measure the hydrogen concentration, offering the opportunity to optimize the nitrogen/hydrogen protective atmosphere.

Process analysis and control are at the heart of glassmaking efficiency at the furnace, forming and cooling stages. Parameters such as temperature, pressure and gas analysis are vital not just for improving glass quality but also for protecting and maintaining assets, e.g. the furnace, and minimizing energy consumption and emissions. Careful monitoring and control of the temperature profile is vital at the cooling stage.Siemens’ process instrumentation and analytics is helping companies optimize heating and cooling conditions. Our instrumentation and analytics devices are designed to give reliable, accurate information and are able to withstand the intense heat of the furnace environment. We also have equipment suited to a range of require-ments during the forming process, such as gas monitoring of the atmosphere in the tin bath.

Monitoring of the fuel gas Around 75% of the energy for glass manufacturing is used in the melting process, and natural gas is commonly used to heat the furnace. The quality of the fuel gas will affect the efficiency of the burners. Gas suppliers guarantee the gas quality within specified limits but even fluctuations within these limits have an impact on burning efficiency. By monitoring gas quality online, the process control system can adjust the burners accordingly.

Process gas chromatography Using SITRANS CV gas quality monitoring through chro-matographic determination of the calorific value allows the burning process to be optimally managed within the process control system. This ensures that the exact amount of natural gas is being fed in, significantly re-ducing fuel consumption. It also results in a more stable burning temperature, which extends the service life of the furnace and considerably improves glass quality. And the flue gas emissions of gas-fired furnaces can be significantly reduced.The SITRANS CV rapidly and precisely determines all the necessary information on the quality of natural gas such as its calorific value or gas composition. Its rugged and explosion-proof design means the analyzer can be installed close to the sample point without any shelter.

Gas monitoring


Emission monitoringEmissions reporting is an important legal requirement for glass manufacturers in many regions. The Ultramat 23 is a cost-effective multi-component analyzer for the measure-ment of up to three infrared sensitive gases (NDIR princi-ple) such as CO, NOx and SO2 plus oxygen electrochemical or paramagnetic cell. The analyzer is suitable for a wide range of standard applications including continuous emis-sion monitoring such as of flue gas from the furnace sec-tion. Calibration using ambient air eliminates the need for expensive calibration gases.Siemens offers with SET CEM a complete monitoring solu-tion based on ULTRAMAT 23/LDS supporting the efforts to fulfill negotiated environmental agreements in conjunc-tion with national ambient air quality regulations.

Pressure control in the furnaceFurnace pressure control can have a significant effect on energy consumption and refractory wear. Energy efficien-cy and environmental emissions are influenced by air/fuel ratio control. The SITRANS P pressure transmitter family provides an ideal solution in several applications across the glass production line.The SITRANS P DSIII series are highly accurate and user-friendly digital pressure transmitters for measuring gauge pressure, absolute pressure, differential pressure, flow and level. Even the standard devices offer comprehensive communication, diagnostics and simulation functions with high reliability.The SITRANS P500 ensures accuracy, extensive diagnos-tics, long term stability and sets new standards in pressure management. With a measuring accuracy of 0.03% and total performance of 0.09%, the SITRANS P500 offers measuring results which meet the highest requirements. The long-term stability of 0.05 % / 5 years and 0.08% / 10 years ensures measuring results you can trust over the long term, which reduces maintenance costs.

Temperature measurement in the furnaceWhatever you are looking for in a temperature transmit-ter, SITRANS T temperature measurement devices give you an answer. Ideal for use all around the furnace, the SITRANS TH300 with HART-protocol is designed to support all common thermocouples, resistance and millivolt sen-sors. Setup is quick and easy with SIMATIC PDM or a hand-held communicator.

Control in the float bath and annealing lehrSiemens’ pressure and temperature measurement don’t stop at the furnace.In the cooling oven, Siemens instrumentation gives manu-facturers the information to control reheating and cooling that is needed to follow a precise temperature profile and eliminate inner material tension. Exact, reliable tempera-ture measurement is prerequisite.Rail mounted SITRANS TW temperature transducers are ideal for installation in glass manufacturing control rooms with very high ambient temperatures. These units are applicable for all common types of temperature sensors and current / voltage / resistance measurement. Galvanic protection of all circuits is guaranteed. Siemens offers suitable thermocouples and temperature sensors.

Tracking and tracing at the cold end

Optical character recognition for tracking & tracing and quality controlSiemens’ SIMATIC Ident is a comprehensive product port-folio for industrial identification. It comprises RFID sys-tems as well as optical code reading systems. The station-ary 1D/2D code reading systems, SIMATIC MV420 and SIMATIC MV440, are characterized by their high-speed and reliable reading performance – even under severe environmental conditions in industrial use. They read easy, high-contrast codes as well as the difficult-to-read DPM codes (direct part marking).Renowned glass companies have chosen the stationary 1D/2D code reading system SIMATIC MV440 for installa-tion on the production line of their thin film solar power

At the ‘cold end’, Siemens has a range of products to track and trace all the individual processing steps. These include code reading systems with OCR (optical character recognition) that are particularly advanta-geous for quality control as they integrate fully into the manufacturing execution system (MES) via Siemens’ SIMATIC PLC.

Minimize utility consumption

Exact and reliable information, linked into an effective control system, ensures minimum consumption of gas, electricity and other inputs such as compressed air and water. It also reduces maintenance costs through preven-tive maintenance functions. For all units we provide you with the best instrumentation solution for your application.

A range of water applicationsFor the vast majority of chilled water applications, the electromagnetic flowmeter SITRANS F M is the best choice. An integral self-monitoring circuit surveys all functions and gives an alarm in the event of any mal-function. In combined heating and cooling applications, the ultra-sonic flowmeter SITRANS F US is the best choice. It pro-vides high accuracy energy measurements and measures all water types including special treated water with low electrical conductivity and magnetite.

Advanced pump controlSITRANS LUT400 series ultrasonic controllers also con-tribute to water treatment energy savings thanks to advanced pump control routines that allow users to minimize pumping during peak energy periods.

Optimized burner controlIn many glass production plants combustion fuel is used for melting the raw material. Increasing energy prices makes fuel more and more a substantial part of the total production costs of a plant. Exact measurement of fuel flow rates is therefore crucial for saving energy costs. SITRANS FC430 coriolis flow meter has a very high accu-racy of 0.1% with low pressure loss and saves fuel con-sumption through precise and reliable measurement. In addition, more exact measurement enables the control of optimal melting conditions and protecting the assets.

Easy retrofitting with clamp-on technologySITRANS F US allows retrofitting of transducers under pressure with clamp-on or hot-tap technology – very cost-effective solutions. The utilization of externally mounted sensors that are quickly and easily mounted on the out-side of the pipe is also a perfect solution for applications where corrosive, toxic or high-pressure liquids rule out the option of cutting the pipe.

Energy saving by reduced pressurized air consumption The SIPART PS2 valve positioner saves energy and main-tenance costs through its lower air consumption and, in turn, lower compressor use. This intelligent device is equipped with comprehensive diagnostic capabilities, giving diagnostic data on itself, its environment, the valve and actuator. This diagnostic capability sets standards for cost efficiency, reduces maintenance requirements in the plant, guarantees safe process control and provides high functional safety in emergency situations.

Glassmaking is a highly energy-intensive process. Managing energy and other utility costs is vital for competi-tiveness and margin enhancement. Burning fuel, electricity, water, compressed air, hydrogen and nitrogen are all important utility inputs for glass manufacturers. Pricing pressures are affecting all these inputs. In an era of high energy costs, giving top priority to effective energy control is more important than ever.

Utilities

Successful glassmaking waste heat recoverySiemens process instrumentation helps monitor the waste heat recovery equipment like boiler, turbine, condenser and the cooling water circuit. Control of the heat recovery equipment can be easily inte-grated in the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system for glass production. Control and monitoring are therefore carried out from the central control room, and uniformity of automation is thus ensured throughout the entire plant.

18

Waste heat recovery

Waste heat is a major efficiency and energy production opportunity. Large amounts of waste heat with tempera-tures between 400 °C and 800 °C are produced from glassmaking. But many companies are still failing to make use of the energy generation potential of such heat. The electrical energy from waste heat could cover up to half a glass manufacturing plant’s total electricity needs. Siemens, together with well-known plant constructors, can provide innovative and cost-effective heat recovery systems.
